Scammers in the Caribbean have a computer that calls thousands of random cell phone numbers, then disconnects after one ring. And the phone number it's coming from looks local.

But it’s not. You call back and it’s secretly an international call. The charge $19.95 to make the connection, then $9 per minute..

They haven’t caught them yet but the BBB is looking.
